Petroglyphs of the Southwest: A Puebloan Perspective

Description

Petroglyphs of the Southwest: A Puebloan Perspective offers a unique look at the tens of thousands of petroglyphs and pictographs found in national parks in the Four Corners states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Puebloan author Conroy Chino takes the reader on an interpretive journey through these symbolic representations of past and present cultures. Descendants of those who created the carvings in stone still live in the Southwest. Their history, philosophy, religious beliefs, and culture remain deeply connected to the depictions on rocks of deities, rainfall, masked beings, birds, reptiles, and other symbolic figures.
